IMPROVEMENT IN COMPOUNDS FOR CLEANSING THE HAIR.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,536, dated December 5, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER MILES, of Toledo, Ohio, have invented a certain Compound called Cleansing Balm, to be used in cleansing the hair and purifying the scalp.

The nature of the invention consists in mixing rain-Water, boraX, and pulverized French castile soap with a solution or salts of tartar, dissolved in hot rain-water.

To prepare the cleansing balm take one ounce borax, one pound pulverized French castile soap,

and dissolve the same in three quarts and six gills of rain-Water. Then take one-half pound salts of tartar dissolved in two gills hot rainwater. In mixing for use take ten ounces of the melted soap and borax add to this one ounce of the purpose described.

ALEX. MILES.
